My FA mini uzi just came in from out of state to my local dealer. It runs reliably on ball ammo when I test fired it but unfortunately for me I have tens of thousands of rounds of flat nose bullets which it chokes hard on. If I have my dealer send it over out to someone like BWE is there anything that can be done to help it run with flat nose bullets? Or should i cast round nose bullets?

It’s an unslotted group industries mini registered reciever with all full auto parts.

Thanks!
Beau

you could try putting the bolt into an old fashion uzi pistol .

My full-size Group gun wouldn’t feed anything but RN, with the standard SMG feed ramp. I had BWE install a semi-feed ramp, and it feeds FP and HP just fine now.

Does the Mini have the same type of feed ramp as the full-sized SMG?

Not sure, this is my first uzi and I’m not too familiar with them
